Chapter 217 The family of ghosts and gods, the mighty power of dragons and elephants, blasting with one punch
An hour after Chen Chu sent the information requesting a thorough investigation of the Shanshu family to the local military, Baichuan Yingzi suddenly came to the door and revealed her identity.
“Military Secret Service personnel.”
Looking at the neat and handsome woman in front of him who was wearing a white women's suit and a sword on her waist, Chen Chu's eyes showed surprise.
Habikawa Sakurako bowed slightly: "Yes, I joined the Special Service Department after graduation. I am a member of the Dongdu Dark Side Investigation Team, specializing in the evil cultist incident."
“However, my identity is kept secret. On the surface, I am just a member of the martial arts school.”
At this time, besides the two of them, there were also Yan Ruoyi, Li Daoyi and Xu Xiaoqi in the living room.
The three of them were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Chen Chu would make a discovery when they first arrived in the east capital.
“After receiving Mr. Chu’s request, I specially mobilized manpower to thoroughly investigate the affairs related to the Shanshu family, but...” At this point, Baichuan Yingzi’s eyes showed doubts.
Chen Chu raised his eyebrows: "Did you not find it?"
Hakawa Yingzi nodded: "Yes, there is nothing unusual about the Shanshu family."
“The Yamashu family has been the shrine priests of Daiten Ghost and God for generations. It has been going on for hundreds of years. It is said that the people in the Yamashu family have the blood of Daiten Ghost and God.”
“Of course, these are rumors and no one believes them, but after the changes in the world in modern times, every generation of Shanshu family heirs have the talent for cultivation.”
“The current patriarch of the Shanshu family, Shanshu Longyou, is a master of the late Sixth Heaven, and is stronger than my father.”
“Coupled with hundreds of years of business, the Shanshu family has a high prestige in Dongdu.”
“When I mobilized the military to investigate, I found that the Shanshu family is very ‘clean’, and there has been no sign of any abnormality among the family members for more than ten years.”
"Is it so clean?" Chen Chu frowned slightly. Did he feel wrong?
At this time, Li Daoyi said slowly: "Just because it is clean, does not mean there are no problems."
“At Brother Chu’s current level, especially since he has practiced perception skills, it is almost impossible to go wrong when he clearly feels something is wrong.”
“It’s just that this family is deeply hidden, so conventional methods cannot detect it.”
“You mean using unconventional means?” Baichuan Yingzi looked at the smiling Yan Ruoyi on the sofa, but hesitated to speak.
Yan Ruoyi chuckled and said, "Miss Yingzi, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are all our own people."
Hamikawa Sakurako hesitated and said: "Today is Dongdu's annual Ghost King Festival, and the festival happens to be held not far from Daiten Ghost Shrine."
“Now we all know that Miss Yan’s identity has been ‘exposed’. If there is really a problem with the Shanshu family, Miss Yan comes to visit again.”
At this point, Baichuan Yingzi paused.
“Are you going to take the initiative to lure them into action?” Yan Ruoyi’s eyes lit up: “This is a good suggestion. I prefer to take the initiative rather than passively waiting.”
“By the way, we can also visit the Ghost King Festival. I have heard about this festival in Eastern Xia, and I heard it is very lively.”
Seeing this, Li Daoyi and Chen Chu looked at each other and thought for a while without saying anything to dissuade them.
This family's highest cultivator is only at the late stage of the Sixth Heaven, so he is vulnerable to them. It is just a good time to confirm whether Chen Chu's induction is wrong.
As for notifying the military to directly dispatch force to suppress it, it is not necessary.
One is that the other party is very 'clean', and the other is that a family with such a little strength does not need to work hard, and it will be embarrassing if they make a mistake.
“Can I go too?” At this time, Xu Xiaoqi’s eyes lit up slightly, and she was a little eager to try.
After witnessing the collision between the field projections of Chen Chu and ‘Zhang Tian’ last night, Xu Xiaoqi became very interested in the exaggerated battle scenes of advanced practitioners.
"Ms. Xu, there may be danger this time, so you'd better not go." Chen Chu refused.
He and Li Daoyi were on defense and attack, and they were confident of protecting Yan Ruoyi even if the high-level Seventh Heavenly One took action, but it was hard to say if there was an ordinary person in the mix.
Soon, Yan Ruoyi changed into a white sportswear, a peaked cap on her head, and flat glasses on the bridge of her nose.
Looking at Chen Chu, who was wearing a black suit and a white shirt, Baichuan Yingzi asked doubtfully: "Mr. Chu, don't you want to change your clothes?"
Chen Chu shook his head: "It's not necessary. My duty is to be a bodyguard. If it's someone else, I can tell it at a glance through my stance."
The culture of Yueshan Country is somewhat similar to that of Bird Country. There are many ghost legends here, and most of the folk legends are related to ghosts, so there is a festival called Ghost King Festival.
With the development of social civilization and the eradication of superstition, this festival in Yueshan Country has gradually become an event similar to Halloween, which is held once a year.
At the same time, this Eastern Capital was also the city where the first violent ape appeared when the world changed.
At that time, the nine-level behemoth rushed into the city and caused hundreds of thousands of casualties. In the end, humans used fighter planes and missiles to lure it out of the city and used large-yield nuclear bombs to kill it.
The huge crater where the million-yield nuclear bomb exploded was still more than 20 kilometers outside the city.
At night, Nancheng, near the suburbs of Dongdu, is brightly lit. Looking from a high altitude, you can see countless vehicles and people gathering together, making it very lively.
“Hahahaha...come and chase me.”
“I am the One-Horned Ghost King.”
“Mom, I want to eat that fallen flower cake.”
“No, you’re losing your teeth recently, so you can’t eat anything too sweet…”
The streets are crowded with people, children are playing happily, and the stalls on both sides sell all kinds of food and play things, as well as many ghost masks, toys, etc.
Yan Ruoyi, who said she wanted to attract enemies, was standing in a sales stall.
‘Sugar’ roadside stall.
Hakawa Sakurako pointed at the cakes behind the glass cabinet and introduced: "Miss Yan, this is Dongdu's famous silver flower cake. Very few craftsmen can make it now. Do you want to try it?"
Yan Ruoyi, who had deliberately skipped dinner, nodded with interest, and Baichuan Yingzi waved her hand: "Boss, here are four silver flower cakes."
Soon, the boss handed the wrapped silk flower cake to the two women.
“Come on, one for each of us.” Yan Ruoyi smiled and stuffed the pastries in the paper bags into the hands of Chen Chu and Li Daoyi.
At this time, in addition to the flower cake, Chen and Chu also had a large skewer, grilled squid, meatballs, crepes and other food in their hands that they had not finished yet.
Along the way, Yan Ruoyi wanted to buy any snacks she saw.
Then she ate more of what she thought was delicious, and passed on the less delicious ones to Chen and Chu behind them. She knew that senior practitioners had a 'big appetite'.
If you really want to eat, you can eat a cow.
“Zouyi, that lantern over there is beautiful, let’s go and have a look.”
“Hmm, wait for me.”
The two women became more and more enthusiastic as they shopped. They seemed to be having a lot of fun, and their relationship seemed to have become closer. The good news made Chen Chu feel baffled.
While Yan Ruoyi and Baichuan Yingzi were looking around excitedly, Chen Chu was vigilant and scanned all the people approaching, no matter adults, children, old people or women.
In addition, spiritual intuition and five-sense perception spread, and many practitioners were discovered.
However, these people are all average in strength, most of them are in the first and second heavens, there are only a few in the third heaven, and some of them have student faces.
At the same time, not far away, Chen Chu also sensed some practitioners with military temperament. Occasionally, when he looked at those people, both sides nodded slightly.
Before setting off, Chen Chu, who was habitually cautious, notified the military of their actions as a precaution.
Just as Chen Chu was carefully looking at the people around him, some people were also looking at him.
Of course, it’s not that I think he’s handsome, but that he’s putting on too much pretense by wearing sunglasses at night.
Although today is the Ghost King’s Day, many people are wearing strange clothes, and there are also children running around wearing various evil ghost masks, but those are at least ‘normal’.
“Brother Chu, there are so many beauties.”
Compared to Chen Chu's caution, Li Daoyi paid attention to the beauties he met along the way.
"Uh...you have dozens of beautiful friends on your phone, isn't that enough?" Facing Li Daoyi like this, Chen Chu didn't know what to say for a while.
You could call him lustful, but he just chatted with the beauties and handed out red envelopes. The beauties all refused when they asked him to go out for drinks or play.
If you say he is not lewd, he looks at beautiful women all day long.
Sometimes he would drag Chen Chu along to comment, like a sultry otaku who had never seen a beautiful woman before, leaving him speechless.
Forget it, too lazy to care about him.
Chen Chu shook his head, focusing on Yan Ruoyi, looking at the side face with a bright smile under the light, and sighed slightly.
Nearly an hour later, the four of them walked through the two lively streets. They suddenly felt that the surrounding area had become quiet, and the flow of people was much less.
Here we have reached the suburbs. In front of us are hills with dense trees, winding bluestones, and at the end is a path with steps going up the mountain.
Chen and Chu stepped onto the steps.
The low street lamps on the roadside exude a quiet light and are full of mystery. Occasionally, when pedestrians go up or down the mountain, their faces are full of piety.
When the four of them reached the mountainside, they saw a vast temple full of ancient charm standing quietly. On both sides of the gate were two eight-meter-high green-faced fanged evil ghost statues.
It’s like it’s not the gate of a shrine, but the entrance to hell.
Hamakigawa Sakurako whispered: "This is the shrine of Daiten Kishin. As the priests here, most members of the Yamashu family live here."
“The head of the family is Yamaju Ryūyou, the second-generation priests Yamaju Yufeng, Yamaju Yulei, and three other third-generation family members.”
“There are so few family members.” Li Daoyi was a little surprised.
In his eyes, these so-called families that are famous in local society should be flourishing.
Hakawa Yingzi nodded: "Since the New Era, the Shanshu family has not been prosperous, and they are usually very low-key."
Yan Ruoyi looked at the evil ghost stone statues on both sides and said with a relaxed expression: "Let's go in and have a look."
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. When the four of them entered, they passed by the last few tourists. The huge shrine suddenly seemed quieter.
After entering the gate, there is a huge square, with a majestic palace in the middle, and behind it are the residence buildings of the priests of the Shanshu family.
Under the eaves of the main hall of the shrine, Yamashu Yufeng, who was wearing a gorgeous priest uniform and sitting behind the platform, was a little surprised: "Miss Baichuan, Miss Yan, why are you here so late?"
Hamikawa Sakurako bowed slightly: "We were originally participating in the Ghost King Festival down below, and we thought that the Daiten Ghost Shrine is up there, so we took Miss Yan up for a visit."
“That’s it, please.” Shanshu Yufeng made a gesture to invite him in.
The old man also had a kind face and looked at everyone with a smile. He seemed to be very happy that they came to visit the shrine and worship the gods and ghosts in their faith.
Standing behind Yan Ruoyi, Chen Chu's eyes swept over the ferocious evil ghost statues, and finally landed on the big statue of ghosts and gods in the middle.
The statue is wearing a set of ancient armor and stands five meters high. There is a five-meter-long sword placed across its knees, but the face under the helmet is that of a ferocious evil ghost.
When Chen Chu looked at the statue, his "heart" vaguely seemed to see a ferocious evil ghost staring at him with cold eyes.
Chen Chu used his true power to restrain his voice, and suddenly whispered: "Brother Li, do you feel that the big ghost statue is a bit strange?"
Hearing this, Li Daoyi, who had been looking at the statue, nodded thoughtfully and moved his lips slightly:
“It’s a little bit, it seems to have some breath of faith wrapped around it.”
The breath of faith. Chen Chu's eyes moved slightly.
Since there are king-level powerful men in this world who are comparable to gods, and some kings even proclaim themselves gods and establish divine kingdoms, they naturally also have some special powers, such as faith.
It’s just that this kind of power similar to the soul and spirit is illusory, and only the king whose law power involves this aspect can collect it.
So even Chen Chu had only heard of it, never encountered it, and could not sense it at the same time. He just felt that this statue was a bit strange.
It’s like coming to life.
As for why Li Daoyi could feel the faint breath of faith above, it should be related to his ‘innate awakening’.
But under normal circumstances, it is normal for a statue that has been worshiped for hundreds of years to have a little aura of faith wrapped around it, but is it normal?
Chen Chu and Li Dao looked at each other.
Suddenly Chen Chu said coldly: "Brother Li, use lightning to strike the statue of ghosts and gods in the sky."
Suddenly everyone present was stunned.
Shanshu Longyou's face changed slightly, and he said sternly: "Sir, this is the statue of ghosts and gods that my family has guarded for hundreds of years. What do you want to do?"
As he spoke, a powerful black power burst out from his body, burning like a black flame from hell, exuding astonishing power.
Under the explosive momentum of the late Sixth Heaven, strong winds roared in the hall for a while, and cracks appeared on the ground.
The trees and trees outside the temple also showed anger in their eyes. For them, attacking the idols of their faith was almost the same as killing their parents.
Boom!
At this moment, purple thunder surrounded Li Daoyi, and the electric light jumped. In an instant, a purple thunder light as thick as an arm shone, and the light fell on the statue of ghosts and gods in the sky.
Bang!
Under the thunder, the head of the statue cracked, and wisps of black smoke floated out from the cracks. Instantly, a terrifying aura that did not belong to humans filled the air.
“Purgatory demonic energy!”
In an instant, Chen Chu appeared in front of Yan Ruoyi, with golden flames jumping on his body and a solemn expression.
Unexpectedly, this time it was not the Blood God Cult, but something related to the Purgatory Clan.
And the thunder light on Li Daoyi's body increased even more. The crackling thunder light enveloped a five-meter range. His long hair moved automatically without wind, just like a **** in charge of thunder.
Li Dao's eyes flashed with lightning, and his voice buzzed: "I didn't expect that the aura of faith wrapped around this statue is actually to suppress the aura of purgatory inside."
"You traitors to the human race should all die"
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Shan Shu Longyou's eyes slowly turned blood-colored, and a more terrifying aura erupted from deep within his body, and his expression looked a bit ferocious.
"Originally I didn't want to get involved in this matter. What does the daughter of the King of Heaven have to do with me? Why do you have to force me?"
“Today, you are all going to die, roar!”
With an inhuman roar, Shanju Longyou's body suddenly swelled, breaking his clothes, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a ghost and **** more than three meters tall, with his first two horns surrounded by red magic light.
In an instant, Sugi Ryūyou's aura surged nearly tenfold, and the blazing black-red flames almost approached the seventh heaven. The entire hall shook under the terrifying aura of ghosts and gods.
Shanshu Longyou roared: "Yufeng, don't let them escape, activate the stone formation."
“Yes, father.”
With a low voice, the tree outside the door slapped the stone pillar beside him with his palm.
Hurrah!
Suddenly, the dragon's roar shook the void. It was magnificent, domineering, and with such fierce and unrivaled power, it seemed as if the whole world collapsed under Chen Chu's punch.
Boom!
The divine power was like anger, and the golden light shone, showing the body of a 'ghost and god'. The mountain tree Yufeng whose cultivation level skyrocketed from the early stage of the fifth heaven to the late stage of the fifth heaven was exploded in an instant.
The domineering fist style continued unabated, shattering half of the walls of the temple.
The air roared, the air waves rolled, countless flesh and blood residue mixed with the remaining bricks and gravel flew dozens of meters away, and the billowing smoke filled half of the square.
Suddenly everyone was stunned.
Including Li Daoyi who was about to take action.
No, brother, it's my turn this time, so stop pretending.
Facing Li Daoyi’s resentful gaze, Chen Chu, who was wearing sunglasses, withdrew his fist with a stern expression.
Although this 'guy' is not very strong, it is obvious that he wants to activate some mechanism that has been prepared for decades. In this case, he must blow up everything.
Although he feels like nothing will go wrong, he doesn't like surprises.
“Ah! I’m going to kill you.”
Seeing his son being beaten to death in an instant, Yamaju Ryūyou's eyes showed ferocity and madness, and the magic light on his body formed a huge ten-meter-tall ghost shadow behind him.
“Your opponent is Master Dao.”
As Li Dao waved his hand, the surrounding lightnings gathered together and turned into a huge purple thunder dragon, which roared and collided with the ghosts and gods.
Boom!
In an instant, the missile exploded, and a dazzling black-purple destructive shock wave erupted. The roof of the temple collapsed, the stone statues shattered, and a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky.
As the rumbling temple collapsed, golden flames jumped from Chen Chu's body, forming an invisible and powerful force field that surrounded him for five meters.
As soon as the gravel and explosion impact approached the five-meter range, they were blocked by the overbearing divine power, forming an insurmountable invisible wall around them.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the billowing air waves and smoke, thigh-thick thunder roared, ghosts and gods roared, and both sides rushed out of the half-collapsed temple with a bang.
Sensing the violent aura outside, Chen Chu looked indifferent and stretched out his hand to press lightly on his ear: "The Shanshu family is related to the demon clan. They sealed off the hill and left no one behind."
"receive!"
Following the resolute voice coming from the opposite side, dozens of figures who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain rushed up the mountain forest from all directions, each of them exuding the aura of the fifth heaven.
Within a few breaths, these experts from the military met several other members of the Shanshu family who had escaped from the mountain.
Including one of the second generation who ran away when the situation was bad, a fight suddenly broke out.
In the dilapidated hall, Sakurako Mokawa, who was holding a sword, was a little solemn: "The Yamashu family actually has a problem, and it's not just a traitor."
“It must have been an accident this time.” Chen Chu looked thoughtfully at the statue behind him that still had a faint black demonic aura.
"They should have some connection with the demons. I can feel that the demonic energy is somewhat different from Maxius's."
“There is also that strange body of ghosts and gods. I couldn’t even feel anything strange before it was activated. It seems that it is not a simple fusion, but more like a blood transformation.”
Speaking, Chen Chu's eyes showed interest, and he wanted to capture a member of the Shanshu family to study.
Yan Ruoyi, who looked calm in the face of the sudden change, said softly: "They should have been integrated into the blood and essence of the purgatory demons, and transformed themselves into demons by referring to Beilin's skills."
“I’m just curious, where did they get the blood essence from the purgatory demons?”
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, the air roared in the distance, ghosts and gods
…No, it’s more like Shan Shu Longyou in the form of an evil spirit shooting out, looking at Yan Ruoyi with ferocious eyes.
It wants to hold Yan Ruoyi hostage.
At this time, Yamaju Ryūyou was in a very embarrassed state. Many parts of his body were shattered by thunder and his aura was weak. He did not have the brutal domineering power he had when he transformed just now.
"Roar! Get away from me." Roaring Shan Shulongyou waved his right paw.
Endless black and red demonic energy rolled and formed a huge claw covering the main hall. Under the terrifying force, the air within a dozen meters collapsed and the floor tiles shattered.
“What gives you the illusion that you can provoke me?” Along with the deep voice, extremely terrifying power was released from Chen Chu.
In an instant, golden light shone, and the half-collapsed temple shook and trembled, as if an ancient giant beast was awakening.
Roar! As the golden fist was waved out, and the power of the mighty dragon and elephant was activated, the whole world seemed to be shaking under the terrifying and overbearing power, and the sky was shaking.
The claws of ghosts and gods covering the main hall instantly shattered under the terrifying punch.
The unparalleled power made Yamaju Ryūyou's face change drastically, blood spurted out from his mouth, and the three-meter-tall ghost body was blown away by the force of the powerful fist seal with a loud bang.
At the same time, Chen Chu turned into a golden ray of light and soared into the sky, with golden flames burning on his body. His palms were opened angrily, and he grabbed Yamaki Ryūyou's face in mid-air as if he was teleporting.
Then two people fell from the sky.
Boom!
In an instant, the mountain forest shook, and the ground within a radius of more than 20 meters instantly shattered. Countless gravel and soil were thrown away under the terrifying force, forming circles of destructive shock waves.
Baichuan Yingzi's face changed drastically under the terrible impact, and she quickly stood in front of Yan Ruoyi to block the violent wind and waves, especially the gravel that was thrown away like cannonballs.
And all this happened in an instant.
In the distance, Li Daoyi was surrounded by lightning, and his face hurt.
In his perception, the life breath of the elite monster named Yamaki Ryūyou had disappeared and was killed by Chen Chu with one blow, so this time he failed to show off.
